Character Set and Tokens in Python

 Character Set: Character Set in Python consist of  valid characters such as alphabets, digits or special characters that are recognized by the library of Python Language.

Alphabets:                    A,B,......Y,Z or a,b,.......y,z.

Digits:                         0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

Special Character:     ~!@#$%^&*()_+{}[];:'"\,./<> etc.

White spaces   :          Blank space, new line, etc.

Token: The smallest individual unit in a program is referred as 'Token'. It is also called Lexical Element or Lexical Unit.

It can be categorized as:

1. Keywords: Keywords are the reserved words that has specific function in a program. These words are used while writing program to get desired output. The keywords are executed  as its purpose/action is already explained inside the language interpreter.

  • All Keywords are written in lower case.
  • Keywords are also called 'Reserved Words'.
  • There are 33 keywords in Python.

2. Identifiers: Identifiers are the fundamental building blocks of a program that are used to identify names of different elements of the program such as variable.

Guidelines for Creating Identifiers in Python:

  • An identifier is an arbitrary sequence of letters in lower case(a-z) & upper case(A-Z), digits(0-9) and underscore(_).
  • The First Character of the identifier must be a letter or underscore. It must not be start with digits(0-9).
  • An identifier must not be a 'keyword'.
  • An identifier must not contain any special character except underscore.

3.Puntuators: Puntuators are used as marks or as separators in a program. The characters used as puntuators are ' " # \ etc.

4. Literals: Literals are data items that never change their value during the execution of a program. These are commonly called constant. 

In Python there are four types of literals(constants):

  • Integer Literals: Integer literals are whole numbers without any fractional part. It may be positive or negative. ex- 2,5,1324,-145 etc.

  • Character Literals: Character literals refer to single character that is enclosed in a single quote. For example: 'A' ,'1' etc.
  • Floating Literals: Floating literals are fractional number. They may be positive or negative. Ex:12.234, -9.256 etc. 
  • String Literals: A string literal is a sequence of characters enclosed within pair of single or double quotes. Ex: 'AMIT', "Hello" etc.

5. Operator: Operators are tokens that does computation with designated or given values in an expression. Operators applied on operands form an expression.

Operand is the value or variable on which calculation is performed.

BASIC STRUCTURE OF A COMPUTER SYSTEM

Computer Function A computer performs action and accomplishes its task in three basic stages namely:- INPUT – Input is the data that is fed into the computer by the user. PROCESS – Processing refers to the series of action by which the computer converts raw data into information. OUTPUT – Output is the result which is termed as information. Input Unit Data and instructions enter a computer through an input unit in a form that depends upon the input device used. Ex- Keyboard, Mouse, Joystick, Scanner etc. CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (C.P.U) CPU is also known as the brain of the “Brain of Computer”. As it appears as a hardware component, but it is also a functional component of a computer system. Functional Elements of a CPU        1.        Arithmetic Logic Unit(ALU)        2.        Control Unit(C.U)        3.    ...

DEVICES USED IN NETWORK

  1. MODEM: It stands for Modulator- Demodulator. A   modem is a peripheral device which modulates ( convert   digital signals to analog signals) and demodulates( convert   analog signals into digital signals) at the local workstation.   The sending and receiving ends of the communication must   have a modem. Now a days mobile phones have inbuilt   modem devices that help to browse internet.      2. Switch: A network switch is a small hardware device that is used to amplify data signals & create smaller network segment or several subnets of bigger network. It is used to prevent overloading of data in the traffic of a network. It is also responsible for forwarding and transforming data packets between the sub networks.    3. HUB:   A hub is a hardware device which provides common connection point to connect several devices together in a network. It contains multiple ports on which wo...

Media Of Communication Part 2

Unguided Media Unguided media transport electromagnetic wave without using a physical connection. This type of communication referred as wireless communication. We can divided wireless transmission in :-   1. Radio Wave:- Electromagnetic   waves ranging in frequencies between 3KHz and 1GHz are normally called radio wave.   On radio wave connectivity used communication used Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.     Bluetooth :- It is a wireless network connectivity that enables to connect or transfer data between devices over a short range the physical range of connection up to 100 meter. Ex- Mobile phone, barcode scanning, portable speaker, wireless keyboard, mouse etc.      Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity):- Wi-Fi is a network of wireless connection. Wi-Fi network establish by radio frequency like Bluetooth, but has more power, resulting a strong connection.    ·   Wi-Fi is also called wireless Ethernet. It has connectivity range up...
